Hacker News "Who is hiring?" thread (freelancer), February 2015

by: revorad
text: London (UK) or Remote<p>I&#x27;m the solo founder of a self-funded company, building a unique customer analytics product (<a href="http://gini.io" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gini.io</a>). I&#x27;ve built the first version of the product myself, and am now looking for help with the development so that I can spend more time on sales and marketing.<p>The product is a Ruby on Rails 4 app, hosted on Heroku with a Postgres database. It makes heavy use of a few APIs - Intercom, FullContact, LinkedIn. There is very little Javascript at the moment, but this might change as we add new features.<p>I need someone whose primary experience is in writing and running Rails apps in production. If Rails is just something you&#x27;ve dabbled in a bit, then you won&#x27;t be a good fit.<p>I&#x27;ll pay a fair rate, but as a self-funded solo founder, I can&#x27;t afford to pay London&#x2F;SF senior dev rates. So, the ideal candidate would be someone remote with a competitive rate, or someone local who&#x27;s a bit junior and looking to gain some experience.<p>Email me at hrishimittal@gmail.com with specific examples of your Rails experience and why you think you&#x27;ll be perfect for this role.

text: Django Developer - Remote okay (within 4 hours of London time preferable)<p>Wildfish - <a href="http://wildfish.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;wildfish.com</a><p>We&#x27;re a London based consulting collective looking for a Django developer to help us out on some ongoing projects, typically building web apps for startups or client sites. Ideally we&#x27;re hoping to build up relationships with people who may like to dip in and out of things as needed, so it&#x27;s fine if you can&#x27;t commit full time right now (although also fine if you can!).<p>We&#x27;re looking for a Django specialist who&#x27;s also comfortable enough with some front end too. We mostly all work remotely these days and keep in touch via Slack. Ideally we&#x27;d like someone who can set their working day to roughly 4 hours within that of London time.<p>Some of the things we use:<p>- Python&#x2F;Django [Essential]<p>- HTML&#x2F;CSS&#x2F;Javascript<p>- Twitter Bootstrap<p>- PostgreSQL<p>- Ubuntu Linux Server Administration<p>- TDD, django-webtest<p>- Ember, Angular<p>- Docker<p>You&#x27;ll be working autonomously a fair bit, so it&#x27;s important that you&#x27;re the sort of person who has attention to detail and can read requirements carefully.<p>Please email work@wildfish.com, including 3 of your favourite Django apps and the rate you&#x27;re looking for.<p>Thanks!

text: (Remote OK)<p>I am currently doing some work with a charity who need a tiny bit of front-end work done where they need to develop a custom donate page (i.e. Stripe integration).<p>While this is only a fairly small job, I am currently trying to push them to do more in the future and they have indicated that they are actively looking for a developer they can work with in the future so I think the opportunity for on-going work is high.<p>Note: They are currently using Squarespace if that changes anything for anyone, but I figured it is worth mentioning upfront.<p>Feel free to contact me at mark [at] afterwire.com.au
